NachrichtI have the same issues via my satellite connection at my home
office.  My setup is outlook 6.00.2800.1123, w2k, and panda antivirus.  The
download speed is about 1340 kbps upload 65 kbps with the latenancy at an
average of 1500 ms.  w2k current, ram is at or about 300 meg free, and hd is
defragged daily.  Panda Antivirus 7.04 with file, mail, and firewall
enabled.  When I download email via pop3 I've noticed that if I have more
than 10 pieces of email to download that outlook will timeout downloading
and stop.  I have my email set to delete after download.

What I have to do is disable my antivirus in order for the email to be
retrieved or use the WEB interface to perform email functions.

Would be nice if the email was deleted per piece of mail after sucessfull
retrieval rather than batch deleted upon completion of download of all email
per that account.  I don't know if this email deletion symantic is RFC
compliant or not, or even if it considered via RFC's, but it would be a nice
feature to incorportate into IMail. (delete the email, if choosen, now -
rather than after 'all' email per that account has been retrieved).

Anyone else having some 10054-lines in his logfiles, and is interested to
solve the problem?

Specially if a user with a slow connection (64k) has messages > 5 MB in his
mailbox this will cause repeatedly the same situation: The user with the
already slow connection trys to download this message again and again. He
recieves messages before the big one multiple times because they was not
deleted after the timeout.

All messages listet after the big one will not be downloaded. So in the
worst case after a certain time the user mailbox is full and new messages
are bounced back to the sender.

When the mailbox user calls our support we can't do very much. We transfer
the message causing the failure with the Imail client to another temporary
mailbox, so he can download and free up his mailbox. But there is no way to
transfer this message.

An important note:
In ANY case, over the same slow connection users can download files much
bigger then 5 MB from web-servers, ftp-servers, and also other (not IMail)
pop3-servers without any problem. The download is not the fastest - there
can also be delay times greater then 10000 milliseconds - but it works.

Those messages are definitely showing up in my logs.

Hi Duane,

Can you find some lines containing "send error 10054" (SMTP) or "send error
[IP] 10054" (POP3) in your logfiles?

This is happening on our server (ver 7.15) several times any day and was
already so on ver 6. Any time the IMail-Server has dropped the SMTP- or
POP3-connection to the client. The client has his timeout (usually 60
seconds) after them he returns an error message.

As I has understand in several tests from different clients, connection
types and connection speeds this happens any time if a client (any client!)
connects over a slow (or satured) line to an IMail-Server. If some
TCP-Packets has delays greater ~7500 to ~9000 milliseconds the mailserver
silently drops the connection to the client and writes the 10054-error in
his logfile.

Until now I haven't found any solution for this. I've tried to set up a
POP3-Proxy beside the IMail-Server hoping that this can level out the high
delayed packets from the client. Unfortunately without the desired result.

I assume that IMail ver x.x has a hardcoded timeout for the next TCP-packet.
If the time between two packets is greater then around 8000 milliseconds the
connection will be dropped.

I'm pretty sure that this has absolutely nothing to do with certain
motherboards, NIC's any other hardware or windows server settings. In the
same time that certain clients (with a slow connection to our server) has
the timeout problems dozens of other clients can send and recieve messages
like a champion.

Hi All,

I have one client that is having issues trying to email out using Outlook.
When they send out files 1mg+ the email gets to 85% done and then hangs up
and they get timeout errors. I am running Imail V8.00.

I've gone thru everything I can thing I can think of:
 - Removed incoming and out going email size limits
 - Upgraded to V8.00 (from 7.07)
 - Freed up disk space
 - Rebooted the server (nothing else worked so....)

So far nothing has helped.

Any ideas what I should try next?

TIA,
Duane
